MEXICAN HOTELS.
The Astonishing Indifference Displayed by
 the Hotel Men of Old Mexico.

'sThe Mexican hotel proprietor does not rush forth to greet you; does not stir from his accustomed repose and ease behind his office counter, and shows not the least anxiety as to whether you stop with him or not. l asked the proprietor what he charged per day. He said four dollars, and that without board.
 Why don't you run restaurant in connectionPn inquired. "Oh, it would be bother,' replied the landlord.
 Why don't you give meals either with board, American style, and make the profits yourself p'' "It would be too much bother," he replied, struggling his shoulders. Actually the proprietor is so afraid of beipg bothered he don't care a straw whether any one stops with him or nSt. I asked for wash list to give out some linen to be washed and was informed that. they never furnished lists for washing nor had any thing to do with laundrying clothes, because it was bother. Some of the PSA Ablo httei hih pNbpiNs NHV might wash for me, l was informed. A tourist, l was told, came on ahead and said to the proprietor of a hotel that he had eighty in his party who would arrive next day and wanted to know if any reduction would be made from the regular charge of four dollars per day, on account of the large num- Der. The proprietor with a languid sigh informed the astonished tourist that he would charge each of his party S4.50 because he would have so much bother. The eating is not so good and the variety of dishes is limited The food is too highly spiced to be especi- ally palatable to Americans. Fruits and luxuIies are scarcer than in the United States and therefore higher priced. -Gen. Porter, f1s Detroit Tribune,

GOLD AND SILVER.
Marked Growth in 1886 in the Prodnctio
 of the Precious Metals.

Marked Growth in 1886 in the Production
 of the Precious Metals.
 Statistics compiled by the Well-Fargo Express Company show that in the great mining region west of the Missis- sippi the production of precious metals enjoyed | period of marked growth in 1886 The yield of silver, not counting the receipts from Mexico, was $52. l36,- s51, or s4.0o3,S12 more than in 1882, the best preceding year. The gain over 1885 was $7 ,620, 252, or about 17 per cent These figures, it should be borne in mind, are in values measured by the gold standard. and the increase in the weigh. of bullion was propor- tionately much greater, the price of silver having been unprecedentedly low last year. As compared with the average annual production of the last fifteen years, 1886 shows gain of about Sl6, ,000 000,or 45 per cent, speak ing roughly.
 Last year showed handsome gain also in the production of gold over the three just preceding, but in the long run the yield of this metal in the United States is gradually decreasing. It gradually rose in the region west of the Mississippi from $33, ,750, 900 in 1870 to S44, ,SS0,o00 in 1877, and then fell steadily to S25, 1S3, 567 in 1884. In 1885 it rose to $26, 393,756, and last year there was further advance to $29.- 561, ,424, the increase over the previous year having been s, 167, ,66S, or about l2 per cent. In gold, as well as in silver, the prospects of the present year are encouraging, and, even with out the possible discovery of new min ing districts. there may be another handsome gain. It is certain that the resources of the United States in this metal have not yet been very thoroughly tested or approached ex- haustion, and altogether the mining interests of the Far West are evidently holding their own with the other great productive interests of the country.- Glerela'ad Leader.

How to Make Yourself Unhappy.


 In the first place, if you want to make yourself miserable, be selfish. Think all the time of yourself and your things. Don't care about any thing else Have no feelings for any one but yourself. Never think of enjoying the satisfaction of seeing others happy, but rather, if you see smiling face, be jealous lest another should enjoy what you have not. Envy every one who is better off in any respect than yourself; think unkindly toward them and speak lightly of them. Be constantly afraid lest some one should encroaeh upon your rights; be watc hful against it,and if any one comes near your things snap at him like a mad dog. Contend ear nestly for every thing that is your own though it may not be worth pin, for your rights are just as much concerned as if it were pound of gold Never yield point Be very sensitive, and take every thing that is said to you in playfulness in the most serious manner Be jealous of yonr friends lest they should not think enough of you; and if at any time they should seem to neglect you, put the worst construction upon their conduct you can.- Christia.

Pretty Nursery Rugs.

An English way of making nursery rugs is to cut out animals, figures. etc., in colored flannel and sew them on gay foundations; making floor pictures for the babies and small children to crawl upon. Some of the rugs have domestic scenes of feeding chickens, or women with milking pails, with q border of cows. horses and pigs. The figures of red or black flannel arc buttonholed to the foundation and can be separated in washing. Some of the figures are made of swans down, and can be shaken, or loosely combed out, after being washed. The foundation of these rugs are canvas and fringed on tho ends DctroU Tribune,

Arkansas Democrat: Now and then you hear some one denouncing the "old parties" as frauds and cne- mics of the people. This kind of demagogy will never deceive the reading masses, because these peo- ,ple know that so far as the Demo- crats have had the power they have faithfully redeemed avery pledge made to the werkfag men. They have restored thousands of acres of land to the public domain, lessened the expenses of government, made large payments on the public debt and Tn time will reduce the tariff.
